SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Standardized Curriculum concept is a 
voluntary approach to training for title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 
(14 CFR) part 135 training when provided by part 142 training centers. 
It provides an efficient means for approving training curricula offered 
by part 142 training centers while increasing the consistency of 
training, testing, and checking delivered to part 135 operators with an 
emphasis on standardization. The Standardized Curriculum concept 
supports the overarching goals to enhance training and checking and 
promote safer operational practices and is consistent with applicable 
regulations. Additional information about standardized curricula is 
available in Advisory Circular (AC) 142-1, Standardized Curricula 
Delivered by Part 142 Training Centers.

Discussion

    The FAA tasked the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC) in 
March 2020 with providing advice and recommendations on the most 
effective ways to achieve standardization (where appropriate) and 
significant administrative efficiency in check pilot qualification, 
flight instructor qualification, and part 135 air carrier training 
curricula delivered by part 142 training centers, known as the 
Standardized Curriculum concept. Under ARAC, the Standardized 
Curriculum concept was tasked to the Training Standardization Working 
Group (TSWG). TSWG membership includes representatives from training 
centers, aircraft manufacturers, operators, and aviation industry 
organizations. The TSWG was tasked to develop and recommend part 135 
standardized curricula for each aircraft or series of aircraft, which 
includes the maneuvers, procedures, and functions to be performed 
during training and checking.
    The TSWG developed a GV-series standardized curricula, which 
includes recommended GV maneuvers, procedures, and functions to meet 
the regulatory requirements in part 135. The TSWG submitted the 
recommended curricula to the ARAC for consideration. The ARAC 
subsequently approved the curricula and submitted it to FAA for review.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites public comments on the TSWG proposed ``Standardized 
Curricula Part 135 Delivered by Part 142 Training Centers, Gulfstream 
GV-Series.''

    The FAA will consider the public comments submitted during this 
comment period in finalizing the curricula.
